Strong criticism of a K-pop company

Recently, I ran across another group (not saying who) which I liked and started looking at a few of the vlog videos, of some of the members. --- Which I often do.

Doing so I watched one in which a member of the group went on a vacation, alone (not just a day out). Which at first I though, okay people do that. Then it hit me. Wait What!?

Traveling alone can be dangerous enough for us nobodies, but this was a singer who's group has over two million subscribers on YouTube, and her Instagram account has thousands of followers. And the company has the video, where she specifically points out that she was alone, and likes to do that, posted on the official group channel. WTF!? --- Seriously WTF!?

Some might say, "Oh there would be someone with her, a cameraman, or ...." However, it seemed obvious that she was recording the vlog on her phone.

Okay, I have seen what I think are some glaring mistakes made by other Korean entertainment companies, but those were mostly mismanagment issues. This on the other hand, I think, could be a serious safety issue.

This is a smaller company, so perhaps there is no one noticing the situation, but ....

Then, now stay with me here. I watched another (otherwise, somewhat amusing) video, same group, same singer, same YouTube channel (just prior to the vacation vlog). Where she is role playing with the camera, as if they are out on an afternoon date; even mentioning getting married. OKAY, maybe I'm not the brightest bulb in the tree, but, (I actually had to get up and walk around) --------- Is that not really dangerous, and really STUPID of a company?

Yeah, I know, some people reading this may say PARANOID MUCH, but come on. Think about it.

There are too many unhinged people in the world, and it only takes one amongst those thousands of followers, or millions of subscribers.

Shouldn't, at least, the part about traveling alone been edited out?

Hopefully, I'm overthinking it, maybe she is a black belt, or Kung Fu master. Hopefully she will be safe on any future vacations, --- but I'm just saying.

What are your thoughts? Am I overthinking? Post your comments below.

K-Pop — our opinion

updated: February 17, 2026 Disclaimer : We do not know, nor have we met any of the singers. We have never met any of the persons associated with, or running any of the entertainment companies (in Korea or the US). This is only our opinions from observing K-pop, and the related industry, for just over one year. From our observation, many of the singers seem like they would be okay people, if one were to know them, and as in the real world some probably would not be. However, it seems obvious that many of the people running the companies are probably not. It seems an industry (like most) in which the people running the companies can do just about anything they wish, and get away with it. When younger we were told that business is a world where ethics and morality are only dictated by those running the company, and if it were legal, anything was acceptable. However, legality seems to almost never have anything to do with it. As for ethics or morality, it seems many people running the ente...

Mountaineering (Everest, K2 and Kangchenjunga) [opinion]

[ I am not a climber, never climbed a mountain, and was not any good at climbing a rope in gym class — and certainly do not have thousands of dollars to waste on climbing a stupid rock — this is just idle pondering on my part. ] Everest is called the tallest mountain in the world, however, Kangchenjunga was once thought to be higher (now said to be the third highest). Everest seems the most climbed of the two. I assume because being the tallest, it gives the most bragging rights. Or perhaps Everest is easier to summit, than Kangchenjunga, or K2. With a much lower percentage of deaths, than the latter. (and just to clarify; I am not implying that either is easy) — if climbers are really seeking bragging rights, should they climb the hardest, rather than simply the tallest (?) — and I am aware that some have climbed all three mentioned, and others (which is amazingly impressive) — as an analogy; if one were to compare them to buildings; is it more impressive to take an elevator to the tw...
